Pros

All departments seem to have an awesome work environment apart from the software testing area. Products are very interesting apart from using old tech. Flexibility. Salary was ok. Good.

Cons

Huge amount of useless meetings, often more meetings than product development. Huge amount of useless reports to be sent. Messages just to check on what are you working on. 4 or 5 communication channels to keep up with. 1:1 meetings with managers are interrogation meetings not productive feedback. "Questions answered with questions" environment instead of collaboration.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback! You mention that you are an employee of Clarus, but then refer to salary in the past tense so our assumption is that you may have left Clarus. Our hope is that you provided direct feedback either while employed in your exit interview with People Operations so that we can evaluate anything that may need to be addressed. Since we have been working remotely for over a year, we have in fact received some feedback that meetings have increased due to the need for video. As you may know, we responded to that feedback recently by sending out some guidelines around reducing the number of meetings, participants, meeting notes, agendas and other changes that we hear have improved things. We will also continue to re-prioritize work and projects to ensure there is a balance between business needs and employee work life balance. We have not heard from others that 1:1 meetings are unproductive or feel like an interrogation, but we would welcome that direct feedback so that we can address it with the appropriate person. You are always welcome to reach out to People Operations, whether you’re a current or former employee and provide feedback, your thoughts are always welcome and appreciated!

Pros

My position was well compensated

Cons

I did not enjoy or find value in my time at ebbo. I found senior leadership to be off putting at best and besides my direct supervisor no one put any effort into getting to know me as a person.
